Our first attempt at empanadas



Every Sunday night we sit together and have Family Meeting and plan out our coming week. We usually plan out the meals that they want to help make, but this time no one had any ideas and it was bedtime. So each day I'm saying, "What are we going to have for dinner?" Tuesday night, Matt came up with a new idea. We made a version of empanadas. The stuffing is rice, Jimmy Dean ground sausage, imitation crab meat, cheese, cream of mushroom soup, and sauteed vegetables: onions, celery, bell peppers, mushrooms, and carrots. Then he made creamy whole multi-grain buscuit dough, and rolled it out into small rounds. We put the stuffing on, folded it in half, sealed it, and brushed it with egg and baked it. They were so yummy!!! I think next time we won't include the crab meat. Some of the kids didn't like the slight fishy taste.
